Introduction
With numerous configurators in the market, it can be daunting to start a configure-to-order journey. However, our vision emphasizes the importance of configuring your Bill of Materials (BOM) over your digital 3D model. Why? Because for operational improvement, it’s beneficial to work with standardized “Lego blocks” rather than endlessly customizable designs.
By focusing on building standardized blocks, you make life easier for sales, streamline purchasing decisions, and simplify production planning. This approach also aids in spare part management, distinguishing between custommodules and standard components.
When it comes to defining component properties, it’s often more practical to record this information in the article’s data, making it easier to adapt as needed.
Configuration management software is a game-changer in the manufacturing industry. It centralizes and organizes vital data, streamlining quotation processes and improving order fulfillment. In this series, we will explore configuration management software’s benefits and how it can revolutionize your manufacturing operations. Whether you’re a small manufacturer or a large enterprise, we have insights and solutions to help you succeed in the competitive manufacturing landscape.
